Difference between Love and Infatuation

LOVE and INFATUATION are two different things that feel similar, but are totally different in terms of stability, loyalty, and longevity which is an important factor for long lasting love. To understand the difference between the two, we first have to define them for the better understanding. I hope you have sometime to give in reading out our this article.

Those who are confused or looking for “Love aur Infatuation ya Affection kya hota hai?”, then you are at a right place. Love in dictionary language is defined as “a strong feeling of affection” and on the other side the “Lust”is defined as “an intense, but short lived passion or admiration for someone or something”. That was how dictionaries defined these terms.

There’s a difference between thinking that someone is cute, having a crush on someone, being interested in someone, liking someone, loving someone and being in love with someone. Never ever mistake a temporary infatuation with love. You could end up with long terms regrets.

The most common problems in people nowadays is differentiating between the two feelings. I have tried to differentiate both of them by dividing them in two separate sections. Hope that can help you out in clearing your doubts and for a better understanding of love.
